Description
It's not really obvious how to interact with the Documents node initially:
- Keyboard: Space / Enter don't do anything, only pressing Enter twice fast opens the query editor
- Cursor: it's not obvious that it needs a double click, in VS Code usually tree elements activate on single click (i.e. open file)
- The context menu has a "Refresh" item but it's not clear what it's refreshing since Documents has no sub-nodes or other status to refresh.

Research direction
The issue does not name files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the Documents node implementation and reproducing its keyboard, single-click, double-click, and context-menu behavior; done means the activation interaction is discoverable and the Refresh action has clear, appropriate semantics.
